1974ad

Rock band 1974 AD, is set to perform on August 24 in Stuttgart, Germany, as part of their 30th anniversary world tour.

The band has already performed in half a dozen cities across the United States in May and June, followed by two cities in Japan—Tokyo on July 27 and Kyoto on August 3. After their tour in Germany, the band will head to Australia, where they will perform in various cities, including Brisbane (September 4), Perth (September 8), Melbourne (September 9), Adelaide (September 12), Hobart (September 14), Canberra (September 19), and Sydney (September 21), throughout September.

The band initially planned this world tour following their reunion in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed their plans.

“We had to wait until our 30th anniversary to make it happen,” said the band’s percussionist, Sanjay Shrestha.

He expressed their joy in sharing this milestone with both old and new fans, adding that performing in America with the original lineup after nearly 22 years made the experience particularly special.

Nirakar Yakthumba, the band’s founder and bassist, reflected on his journey with 1974 AD, acknowledging the many ups and downs but noting that he feels different now, having persevered with the band over the years.

To mark their 30th anniversary, the band collaborated with Artmandu to rearrange and release a music video of Hajar Sapana.
